[Regnum] The counter-terrorist operation (CTO) regime has been declared in the village of Semender in Makhachkala, and operational search activities are being carried out. This was reported on March 5 by the press service of the city mayor's office.

"The counter-terrorist operation regime has been declared since 00:25 in the village of Semender in the Kirovsky district of the city of Makhachkala. Operational search activities are being conducted in this area. During the counter-terrorist operation, until further notice, special measures and temporary restrictions will be in effect," the statement specifies.

The operational headquarters in Dagestan has appealed to the residents of the republic with a request to increase vigilance and provide comprehensive support to law enforcement agencies in the fight against extremism and terrorism.

Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that in Dagestan, a 31-year-old man suspected of robbing a store offered armed resistance to the police and was wounded by return fire. After the attack, the man fled, but his identity was established and the suspect was put on the wanted list. The man was later detained and taken to hospital for medical assistance.

At the end of February, police officers brought 27 people to the station for resisting the arrest of their acquaintance in the urban settlement of Yermoolino.
